Git Workflow Lifecycle

Git Workflow Lifecycle

This skill manages the transition of code from a local development branch to GitHub and the subsequent cleanup once the work is merged.

Workflows

1. Submit Work

Use this when you have finished implementation on a branch and are ready for review.

• Action: Stages all changes, commits with a message, pushes to origin, and creates a GitHub Pull Request.
• Linkage: Automatically adds "Closes #XX" if an issue number is detected in the branch name.

python3 .gemini/skills/git-workflow-lifecycle/scripts/submit_work.py --message "feat: description of work"

2. Cleanup Branch

Use this after your Pull Request has been merged on GitHub.

• Action: Verifies the PR is merged, switches to main, pulls latest updates, and deletes both local and remote branches.

python3 .gemini/skills/git-workflow-lifecycle/scripts/cleanup_branch.py

Instructions

• Ensure gh CLI is authenticated.
• The submit_work.py script will prompt for a commit message if --message is omitted.
• The cleanup_branch.py script will warn you if the PR is not yet merged before proceeding with deletion.

Scripts

• scripts/submit_work.py
• scripts/cleanup_branch.py

Self-Evaluation & Correction

You MUST autonomously verify every git workflow task:

1. Verify Submission

Immediately after running submit_work.py:

1. Run Evaluation Suite: python3 .gemini/skills/git-workflow-lifecycle/evals/runner.py submit <branch_name>
2. Analyze Report: Read results in .gemini/skills/git-workflow-lifecycle/evals/reports/latest_submit_results.json.
3. Self-Correction: If the PR is missing or not linked, attempt to fix the PR body using gh pr edit.

2. Verify Cleanup

Immediately after running cleanup_branch.py:

1. Run Evaluation Suite: python3 .gemini/skills/git-workflow-lifecycle/evals/runner.py cleanup <branch_name>
2. Analyze Report: Read results in .gemini/skills/git-workflow-lifecycle/evals/reports/latest_cleanup_results.json.
3. Self-Correction: If branches remain, manually delete them (git branch -D or git push origin --delete) and ensure you are on main.
